Members of Pikes Peak ARES® (PPARES — Region 2, District 2 of Colorado ARES®) were supporting the Mountain Top Cycling Club’s annual Experience Ride on June 17, when a motor vehicle collision occurred at an intersection right where a race rest stop was located. Three PPARES members on site — Dan Huber, KN0MAP; Matthew Tuttle, KD0YBE, and Dean Buckhouse, KB0VVA — were able to respond to the accident, which involved a passenger car and a pick-up truck.

There were injuries, and one of the truck’s gas tanks had ruptured and was leaking fuel.
